When You Need to Express Your Feelings

Emojis stickers, even animated ones, don’t quite have the emotional oomph of the spoken word. Trust me on this one.

When You Want to Break Up

Unless, you know, it’s a super casual long-distance online relationship. Then, whatever!

When a Loved One or Anyone Dies

I feel like this should be self-explanatory, but apparently it’s not.

When You’re Under the Influence

Warning! This is not what you look like when you drunk-text your ex. This is what you look like:

When You’re Firing Someone

Although firing someone via Tweet is fine, right?

When It’s Your Boss

Autocorrect is never your friend, but it’s especially vindictive when you’re texting the person responsible for your paycheck.

When They’re Not Texting Back

Doesn’t matter who you’re texting. If your text-ratio is greater than 5:1, you need to stop. Right now.

When It’s An Emergency

Hopefully an all-caps text isn’t the first thing you think of when you’re in a life-threatening, emergency situation. Hopefully.

When You Have a Lot To Say

Your three-part text is too long. Nobody’s going to read that.

When You’re Discussing Something Illegal

Or when you send an auto correct message to your mom, oppps ahhh

When It’s Just Not Working

Yeaaaaah, sometimes texting is a terrible form of communication. Maybe just pick up the phone?
